I'm at Duramboros now. What weapon should I use to finish it off quickly? Don't want to spend too much time on it, though it seems I will have to since it seems it is a damage sponge.

LEGO Miiverse - 8970

Monster Hunter Miiverse - 9269

LEGO went up one day before MH.

 

[schuelma]

Up for a play on Saturday, evening? I can help you progress a little faster.

I should be. Hard to play during the week. I'm too domesticated now

 

[Santiako]

I don't understand the trading goods with the Argosi or something like that.

Monster Hunter Miiverse - 9269

LEGO went up one day before MH.

To be fair, MH is more community based than LEGO.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

To be fair, MH is more community based than LEGO.

LEGO is also more kiddy than Monster Hunter.

Anyway, 9269 x 100 = 926,900 copies sold.

 

[wsippel]

Doesn't look like I'm getting the game today. Just noticed Amazon sent it with what's probably the slowest postal service in Germany.

To be fair, MH is more community based than LEGO.

True, but Lego has Miiverse integration as far as I know - MH doesn't.

If you can,go with the Djinn sword (SnS).You'll take around 20 minutes to kill it.

Don't be stupid like me, go for the legs when he starts up his flying spin.

Any weapon should be fine, but I'd recommend a hammer. You can actually smash his tail clump off with a hammer by breaking it twice, and you can carve it like you would a cut tail.

Remember his big hump is the primary weak point and his head takes fuck all damage. His KO resistance is incredible but his head is very easy to hit so it's worth doing it a couple times, and he gets tired out easily allowing you to pitfall him and go to town on the small hump.

Do not underestimate his endurance. I actually failed the quest the first time because I went in with a garbage low end hunting horn, no steaks and not enough whetstones. I deserved it for being overconfident, although I would've been fine if I knew about the spin knockdown thing.

I highly recommend bringing LOTS of traps including one to capture him at the end, which will speed things up quite a bit simply because he has so much hp.

I wish the file transfer was save slot based not the whole file. I wanted to play locally with my son and both of us have the benifit of Wii U and DS cross play.

Really pissed about this.

Wait...WHAT? That nearly defeats the purpose of me getting both versions.

Yea it is.

Where? I can't find it. The 3DS eShop is so hard to navigate.

Do a search for 'transfer'

 

[Hellraider]

Picked up my copy of the game. Turns out the store I got it from were giving out shirts.


Anyone else who's retailer was giving it out?

Got one as well.It was a pre-order bonus from Nintendo of Greece here.

 

[DaBoss]

I'm still using a leather set if that helps.

If you can,go with the Djinn sword (SnS).You'll take around 20 minutes to kill it.

SnS is not my thing, but thanks for the suggestion.

Damn sounds like a serious damage sponge. Thanks for the tips.

Aren't Wii U saves split up by NNID? Wouldn't you be able to set up another NNID and use it or let your son use it?

 

[ReconPeon]

I finally downloaded this yesterday. I haven't been able to play yet, but I should be tonight. I think I'm going to go heavy bowgun with switchaxe or sword and shield.

 

[TheExodu5]

Yup, that works. Thanks.

Are NNID's locked to a Wii U or 3DS? Can you have more than one NNID per system?

 

[ThatObviousUser]

22 Guild Cards from PAX already!!

Awesome!

You can send Guild Cards online too, most people overlook this feature.

 

[Kuntz]

Fuck my life, UPS updated, wont get it until Monday, and I won't be at home so I'm fucked.

There goes my fucking weekend...

Punching walls right noww

 

[Mupod]

I'm still trying to figure out what the post I read meant by changing your 3DS profile in order to start a different save file. Try changing your Mii and see if that does it? I can't check right now.

 

[Mr E.]

Well hopefully that's the case, scenario would then be my son would get the cross save feature and I would stay Wii U based. That would suck but it would do. At least they better let that work lol. Should do.

 

[nicoga3000]

Just picked up this monstrosity. The white/black contrast doesn't do it any favors.

Takes some getting used to!

I'm contemplating picking one of these up...

 

[EvilMario]

this is how i've configured the lower screen :

so,I can control the camera with both thumb, depending when I need to hold button or the analog stick

what's yours ?

I've shrunk down the virtual dpad and centred it with the buttons to make it easier to access the entire thing with my thumb, without need for really over reaching. Map and items to clear some of the UI clutter (I need stamina displayed on the top screen as a Hammer user) and the monster focus toggle is so useful.

 

[Mr E.]

12 on Wii U I believe, I'm sure it's one on 3DS though, Funny thing is we have two 3DS systems an original and XL. Only one monster hunter cart though (fuck buying more).
Having two 3DS means two NNID's but the save on the cart is deleted every transfer.

Grrr.

Edit thinking about it, it should work with one Wii U and two NNID's and 2 3Ds's. Fuck this is a cash sink, I just bought a circle pad pro for the XL, I'm probably looking at getting a regular circle pad pro now.

 

[fabricated backlash]

Ok so I've downloaded the WiiU version now. Whole Process took me 2 hours and 10 Minutes for the download, and about 40 Minutes for the Install.

Not bad.

This is basically my setup with a combo button instead of item list. Shrinking down the dpad makes it a lot more comfortable to use.

What is the point of sending guild cards

 

[Camjo-Z]

I really wish they didn't make me do the whole stupid tutorial bullshit from Tri again, that's like an hour and a half wasted finding unique mushrooms and killing 5 Jaggia when I could have been fighting REAL monsters... well, at least I finally got to the Great Jaggi quest so I'm into the real meat of the game.

If you haven't checked out the Tavern when you're offline, guild cards generate an AI version of that player that you can bring along with you on quests.

 

[nicoga3000]

I just read that the Yian Kut-Ku is returning for MH4? If this is true, I will be so <3. I loved fighting Kut-Ku's back on PSP.

Also, anyone ever browse the wiki and get sad for the monsters that are exclusive to the Frontier series?

Oh, and legit question - how playable is the Wii U version on the gamepad? My decision on picking up a Wii U is based off of if a) off-screen play is going to suck or not and b) if you're able to use the classic controller in conjunction with off-screen play.

 

[Haunted]

GOTY. again.

 

[Bit-Bit]

I'm gonna pick this up for the Wii U. But none of the reviews I read went in depth into the co-op. Can I play the whole game start to finish on local co-op with my girl on the Gamepad and me on the Pro Controller?

25 min kill w/ rimblade, not knowing what the fuck I was doing.

Hey I can't find it anywhere but what's a good table for a Great Sword/Bow Character?

Gypceros is coming back too. I can't wait for the tales of people encountering HIM for the first time.

Most Frontier monsters are pretty lame if you ask me. The scorpion and orugarons look pretty cool, but I don't particularly care for the DARKNEDGY versions of monsters they keep making. The Rajang with an actual Spirit Bomb is pretty hilarious though.

I used the gamepad for the demo (I have a pro controller too) and it's perfectly fine. I think the best method would still be a classic controller pro but you need a wiimote to use it, I don't need any more clutter if I'm already going to have the gamepad + a USB keyboard in front of me.

What do I do if a cat steals from me?

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Up to 43 Guild Cards! Guess going to the MH panel was a good idea, lol.

How many total can I register? Seems like the guild box is limited but registrations might not be.

 

[Emitan]

Kill the cat and you get it back

Hit the cat.

I'm not envious about anything from the Frontier series. Ugly stuff.

 

[Xater]

I think I am making really good progress. Next up is the Rathian.

 

[Kazerei]

I've got a CCP and I'm going HUD-less. Feels good.

 

[Mupod]

if a cat gets away with your stuff I believe you can find their 'stash' to retrieve it. It'll be a pile of junk with a yellow ? icon over it when you get close. If you try to gather there without having been stolen from, it just gives you a message saying there's nothing found. I believe you also have a time limit to get there and retrieve it, so if it was important (IE: your last trap on a capture mission) then head there immediately.

So thats what those cat shrines are for. Had no idea.

 

[Rize_21]

Depends on the map you are,there is a felyne/melynx's headquarter hidden in each.
If you keep

Spoiler

Felvine

on you,the melynx will focus stealing this instead of your usual items.

 

[TheExodu5]

So I need to clear my 3DS save data before I can transfer from Wii U to 3DS. I've been looking for 15 minutes and cannot figure out how to do this.

edit: wow...thanks Internet. You need to go to Options and hold LRX until prompted. That's obtuse.

Yeah, I wish they could have let us skip it. They know how much of their base will buy it again.

 

[sammex]

Woot!

Goodbye life!
